Goose, I'm a closet Canadiens fan from way back. I grew up with a few French-Canadian kids an their fathers were HUGE Canadiens fans. 'ockey was their religion and it made quite an impression on me as a kid. I liked the Islanders back then too. Mike Bossy and Brian Trottier

I miss the old Garden - lots of great memories from there, even if a few games I sat behind a steel girder blocking 75% of my view. I was at the game they hung up Phil Espositos #7 jersey. That night Borque took off his #7 and gave it to Esposito and changed his # to 77.
